In this film, we offer a look at the G H Mumm Champagne Tour. On this channel, we also have a tour of the region and cathedral. And other champagne tours as well as a visit to Hautvillers and its beautiful surrounding vineyards.

Reims - the commercial centre of champagne. A big town with city hotels and small houses. An easy centre to stay at. See our film for the way to pronounce it.

Taittinger    • TAITTINGER CHAMPAGNE TOUR, REIMS, FRANCE  

Taittinger is a family-owned champagne house with its headquarters in Reims, built above 4th Century Roman cellars where faces are carved into the chalk walls. Run by Claude Taittinger Pierre's son its values are inherited from those who created the Champagne House. Over three generations, a number of people have left their mark on the history, reputation, spirit and style of the Taittinger family. The site is on an old monastery that was destroyed in the French revolution. The abbey church, the Basilica of Saint-Remi, is still standing just a block away and has a more impressive interior than the Notre Dame Cathedral.
Thousands and thousands of bottles lay in the caves may well creep under the nearby church and houses.
